I turned in a manuscript of about 115,000 words earlier this year, and the uncorrected proof I have sitting on my shelf is 418 pages.

Is that double-spaced? Because I've always heard a page is about 500 words. But I guess it's different for novels than for reports... (which makes perfect sense)
And in which case I definitely need to cut some stuff out of my manuscript, which is hovering right around 200k. Some of it's coming out already to tighten up the structure. I suppose I ought to look for other places to tighten it up as well. I don't want it to be a tome.
